Classic Sailing Yachts

98' Ketch - Windcrest

Designed by Fontaine Design Group with graceful overhangs and sweeping sheerline, 98-foot (29.9 meter) Delta House (ex. Windcrest) was designed for coastal cruising and offshore passages. Her impressive performance on the water is supported by a generous sail plan and one-touch sail control that includes in-boom furling. The exquisitely laid teak deck is enhanced by custom designed stainless steel and hydraulic winches. While traditional in appearance, Delta House (ex. Windcrest) is a sophisticated 21st century vessel.

Easy Access to Small Coves

Wanting a boat that could easily cruise New England’s coast, one of the requirements from Windcrest’s owners was that the boat be kept under 100-feet. Since the pilothouse provides plenty of room, the main salon was kept relatively small – yet still easily able to accommodate six or more – to save space.

Traditional, Lavish Interior

Furniture panels are made of a flame crotch veneers and bulkhead panels are a flat-sawn cherry. Leather and fabrics complement the natural woods and selected upper panels are painted off-white. The entire interior was built by Hodgdon Interiors, the company’s division building interiors for Hodgdon and other shipyards around the world.

Guest Accommodations

There’s ample room for six guests in all of the living areas. The two mirror image guest cabins feature twin berths and ensuite heads. Interior joinery hides complex hydraulic, electrical, water, mechanical, communications, and ventilation systems all of which were engineered and installed by Hodgdon.

"The 98-foot Windcrest from Maine’s Hodgdon Yachts is a feast for the eyes and an elixir for the heart."

Showboats

"The work and workmanship that was put into this boat was wonderful and it has been a great pleasure to build this boat with the whole [Hodgdon] crew. We are so pleased with this vessel."

Owner - Windcrest

"Windcrest measures 98’ overall and includes all the amenities and features of the most well-found superyachts."

Special Features

Deck Layout

Windcrest has three distinct cockpit areas on deck – a private owner’s aft cockpit, a working helm area, and a spacious guest area with two tables and wrap around settees.

Artistic Mizzen Mast

The carbon fiber mizzen mast, which is stepped down the middle of the owner’s cabin was turned into a unique design feature. The faux painting of the mizzen below deck emulates the look of the timber interior to the point that even seasoned veterans think the mast has been veneered.

Space Savings

Aside from the main and mizzen halyards – which are led below decks to captive reel winches – all of the running rigging is trimmed by hydraulic winches on deck to save space.
